    Darius72 reacted to tannerall in McGregor got out the wrong side of bed this morning   
    Shame that Goldson and Davis ain't showing the same commitment to the team. 
    McGregor knows we got time wasters out there and he is frustrated. Probably never played behind such a lacklusre teamof professionals.
    Davis ran about like he was on speed for 20 minutes then dissapeared, Goldson has been invisible, and there'sno communication at the back. Katic being hung out to dry by those around him.
    If I was McGregor I' be fucking slating them at half time.

    Scottish cup final 2016 Hibs fans invade the pitch on mass, come over to Rangers fans on mass and assault Rangers players, what is the punishment for this? This is why people think it is ok to throw coins and bottles, no or minimal punishment.

    I doubt we’ll ever get rid of bigotry in Scotland and deep down a part of me dosent want to lose it, I’d rather it went back to the days when both sides could take it and people weren’t so obsessively offended these days but...the singing isn’t what this post is about, its more the incidents that seem to be creeping into Scotland as a whole recently not just a Rangers problem and Steven Gerrard is bang on here and It’s his honest opinion not just some shite he’s been told to say to make the club look good:
    Steven Gerrard admitted he'll struggle to attract top players to Rangers if yobs continue to shame the Scottish game.
    The Ibrox boss confessed he is worried about the image of football north of the border following a spate of unsavoury off-field incidents.
    Gerrard takes his Light Blues side to Easter Road tonight where celtic winger Scott Sinclair had a Buckfast bottle launched at him by a Hibs fan in the first of three ugly Scottish Cup ties.
    Just 24 hours later some travelling Rangers supporters ripped up seats and hurled them at home fans, who unfurled an offensive banner aimed at Alfredo Morelos, during their clash with Aberdeen.
    And the following night Gary Caldwell was pelted with coins as he stood in the Partick Thistle dug-out during the Jags quarter final tie against Hearts.
    Gerrard insists it’s a societal problem rather than just football and that it isn’t exclusive to Scotland but he is concerned about the impact of the Scottish Premiership’s image.
    The 38-year-old signed big-name England striker Jermain Defoe in January and believes it will be harder to recruit star players unless there is a clampdown on the morons.
    Gerrard said: “There’s a load of positive things to say about the support in Scotland but if these incidents continue and increase you could have a problem attracting top players to come here.
    Players want to come to Scotland to play in big games. The crowds in general here are superb. The Scottish fans are excellent in the main but that could be a factor in their decision making.
    “We all have a responsibility - managers, staff, players, fans, media - to try and create a positive image of the game.
    And I don’t just mean for everyone domestically because these games go out worldwide and clips of these instances from the fans, whether it be chants or bottles or coins thrown, it gets shown all over the world.
    “It certainly dents the reputation of the game in Scotland we all have a responsibility to protect that and try and improve the behaviour of the supporters.
    The most important thing is the safety of the players and I don’t want to be sitting talking about someone getting badly hurt or injured and if it continues that could be the case.
    “When players see incidents like this, it’s only normal that when they go near the fans to take a throw-in or a corner, it’s going to enter their minds.
    A coin getting thrown or a bottle or an object could cause injuries that could last a lifetime. The police in Scotland and the authorities are doing everything they can.
    “The game in general is in a decent place. These are isolated incidents in certain games in recent weeks that paints a picture of a big, giant problem.
    “I don’t think that’s the case. I’ve got trust in the authorities to do everything they possibly can to make sure that these incidents don’t happen at all.
    In the main, the majority behave fantastically well and they come and support the team but if you see any incidents or something about to brew or start, then have a word or report it to a steward because that could be the difference between a player being hurt or a club receiving a big fine that would be an injustice.”
    Asked if it would improve things, he said: “It’s a good question but difficult to answer because I’m employed by the club and more often than not it’s not the club’s fault.
    “It’s the fault of individuals – or the minority, if they’re in a group – so maybe it’s the individuals and the groups that deserve the punishment and not necessarily the clubs.
    I don’t totally agree with that rule. Sometimes it’s harsh on the clubs to receive a big fine because the clubs do everything they can – and I know how hard this club works behind the scenes with the supporters and police to eradicate that type of behaviour.”
    Some Gers fans ignored a warning from the club not to step out of line at Pittodrie as the Ibrox outfit were hit with a £3000 bill for damaged seats.
    Gerrard said: “It’s not great behaviour or something these people should be proud of and I don’t like talking about it. It’s disappointing.
    “I don’t think it’s the first time that’s happened. This happens with different sets of supporters when they go to opposition grounds, whether it’s small incidents or large incidents, so it’s very difficult to stop because of rivalries.
    It is not perfect down south either. My experiences of being a player down south, there were many press conferences where you were talking about coins being thrown or fans running onto the pitch or damage at certain stadiums.
    “It is a worldwide society problem, not just domestic. If you went to a game, Fenerbahce against Galatasaray for example in Turkey, you would see incidents. That is disappointing.”
     
    my personal opinion is if you want to be a fanny an throw bottles n coins or whatever, do it outside the stadium away from the club and don’t drag the reputation of the club down to gutter level.

    Darius72 reacted to The Moonlighter in 162 Years Ago Today.   
    Founder Peter Campbell was born on the 6th March 1857.
    Peter was the first Ranger to score a goal for his country.
    In 1876 Peter and his fellow Pioneer, Moses McNeil, became the first Rangers players to gain representative honours. They were part of the Glasgow side that defeated Sheffield 2-0 at Bramall Lane.
    Recognised as one of the top players in Scotland he was one of the first to move south, to Blackburn Rovers, playing there for a short time during the 1879/80 season.  
    Peter came from a more privileged background than his fellow Pioneers.
    His father John was a harbour master, his mother Mary was sister of Sir James Jenkins, honorary surgeon to Queen Victoria. The family home was “Craigellan”, a large sandstone villa in the lochside village of Garelochhead.
    Peter’s family were involved in the shipping industry. He was a Ship’s Engineer and was employed at the Barclay Curle Yard on the Clyde .Peter’s engineering certificate issued in 1882, shows his address as being No.2 Parkgrove Terrace in Glasgow where he was living with his cousin Captain Bob Campbell.
    This is one of many locations that we visit during the Founders Trail.
    Peter retired early from football, to concentrate on following in the family tradition by going to sea and qualified as a marine engineer in 1882. But tragically, in the early weeks of 1883, his ship the “St Columba” floundered in the Bay of Biscay off the coast of France.
    The youngest of our Gallant Pioneers died aged only twenty-five.
    Peter’s ship departed on that tragic voyage from Penarth Dock in South Wales.
    On Saturday 22 nd July 2017, after a period of negotiation with Penarth Council, we unveiled a memorial plaque at Penarth Pier to commemorate the life of Peter Campbell and his contribution in the formation of Rangers Football Club. The memorial was funded by our Restoration of Rangers Graves Project.
    We are fortunate to have something more tangible to remember Peter Campbell by. He was a member of the first Rangers’ side to win a trophy, the Glasgow Merchants’ Charity Cup in 1879. Peter’s medal from that momentous day is proudly displayed in the Blue Room at Ibrox Stadium.
    There’s an incredible story behind Peter’s medal.
    Fellow Rangers supporter William Mason contacted us to tell of how one of his friends had found this medal belonging to Peter Campbell in a park in East Kilbride in 1968. A few years ago his friend loaned the medal to Rangers and Peter Campbell’s medal is on display in the Blue Room at Ibrox.
    This is a permanent reminder of the contribution Peter Campbell made in forming our great Club.

    Darius72 reacted to JCDBigBear in Siege Mentality   
    Ever since Souness arrived, our club has been on the receiving end of a concerted campaign from various parties.  I'm not a conspiracy theorist and I don't think there is an actual conspiracy against us.  What I do believe is that there are so many against us that it simply appears as a conspiracy.  It is actually an accidental conspiracy borne out of communal hatred for Rangers and our success.  It wasn't always like this but the last 30 years have changed Scottish football and it isn't for the better.  Those involved at the east end (yes those who disgustingly turned a blind eye to sexual abuse) saw that playing the victim /bigotry card (how hypocritical was that) would be to their advantage.  They chose that opportunity during an era of left wing "we are all downtrodden" politics.   It softened slightly for a while but then ramped up again.   Politicians such as Corbyn and the SNP have conspired against us and what we stand for as a British nation.  It wouldn't matter to these enemies of true democracy if Rangers played the most sublime football on the planet, they would still find reason to criticise us.  This goes beyond football and we have a serious problem because of that fact.  There are too many people within Scottish football, Scottish politics, Scottish media and Scottish judiciary who are not simply tim-minded but quite blatantly anti-Rangers, anti-Unionist and anti-British.  Rangers FC is the easiest target out of that and we are the main object of their ire.  They concentrate on the bigotry element first to try to ensure that "reasonable" people will not defend us.  That is despite the tim support being anti-British, pro-IRA and a club that has hidden paedophilia on a horrendous scale.
    Right-thinking people (of all persuasions) in Scotland need to waken up to this situation.  Rangers fans in particular need to get organised to combat the attack on our heritage, on our lives and on our Club.  Sadly we have no fans organisation suitable for such a task.

    Darius72 reacted to Dickie in Applaud them not abuse them   
    I started going to Rangers games in the early sixties unfortunately just in time for the scum from the east end to start dominating Scottish football (they also did well in Europe but you will not hear them mentioning it). I also suffered during the John Greig(manager) years and still went when our crowds fell to sometimes as low as 4 figures. I of course also had the jock Wallace,souness and watty years then came the ebt shite and demotion to the bottom of the league and I did actually think that we were fucked and would never recover but as everyone agrees the one constant in the last half a dozen or so years has been the amazing fans,we have filled every ground in the country and smashed all sorts of records attendance wise. Meanwhile at the paedodome as the scum hoovered up trophy after trophy unhindered their attendances unbelievably dropped to such an extent that they resorted to closing parts of the ground. I realise most on here will have stopped reading by now but my point is about fans having a go at the young supporters ie. the union bears and the ones who have now taken up running on to the park to celebrate,I find it mind blowing the sheer number of young fans that are now actually attending our matches when you think of all the crap we have been through and the fact we have won fuck all for years and a huge amount these kids have never seen Rangers lifting a trophy. So just think back to your early years as a supporter and give the kids a break,they might be a pain in the arse at times with their flares ect but their outstanding support for the club cannot be questioned.

    Darius72 reacted to The Dude in Rangers beat celtic because they were better not because of a conspiracy   
    After winning the last seven trophies contested in Scotland, Chris Sutton bravely stuck his head above the parapet and outed the grand conspiracy at Hampden to ensure celtic don't make it eight titles out of eight.
    The former celtic striker wrote in his Record Sport column how an 'SFA stitch-up' is the reason Alfredo Morelos wasn't retrospectively punished for three nothing incidents in the Old Firm.
    Following much wailing and begging from Hoops fans, it was decided that the Colombian striker had no case to answer as John Beaton saw all three clashes during the match.
    Despite that, Sutton is adamant Morelos should have been sent off on three different occasions in the 1-0 Ibrox win and believes the decision not to show him red is either "cowardice or corruption."

    Yes, after almost 8 years, the tide has finally turned.
    And it wasn't just a tide, it was a fucking tsunami. An unexpected yet totally  enormous force that pushed us right to the edge of existence. And what is nowadays colloquially called "the journey" was no straightforward journey, but a whirlpool path that pitted ourselves against bitter enemies stopping us moving forward or sideways, and always stabbing us in the back. 
    2011 had been a good year for us.  In March a Jelavic inspired victory  against the tims in the league cup final led on to a 5-1 victory at Kilmarnock in May for our third title in a row. .With expectations high, new manager Ally McCoist  went 15 games unbeaten leading in to 2012. 
    But then in Feb 2012 came the shock. Administration. And what followed was worse than any reasonable Gers fan could have imagined.  The distancing from us and increasing jealous hatred being expressed by a majority of fellow clubs,many of whom we had helped in the past. The organised contempt and punishments dished out by the football administrations. The humillties of corrupt ownership by robbers and charlatans, the threats of title stripping.  Then the politics against us within the football authorities, city council and national Government.
    We were inches from  being destroyed by corrupt and self seeking political interests, all the way from the SFA and SPL administrations through corrupt city councils to the those most influential at the the top of nationalistic and socialist elite. (Oh. the irony of a Scottish national socialist elite, how fitting it is many within of them prefer a football team with a support that favours the Palestinian and Irish causes over British ones......)
     I strongly believe there was just one thing that saved us. And that one thing was a constant that could not be challenged or threatened, even destroyed, and would never surrender or allow our club to die.......our magnificent support.
    8 stormy years we have had, and during that time our mainstay was the fans, fans who have waited and waited for the time when we are strong enough to fight back and then march onward and upward with renewed belief and confidence. 
      Now as we step onward in  2019, almost 8 horrible years since administration, we are no longer the threatened, or the underdogs, we are confident again.  We now have our best foot forward and our haters are the threatened ones 
    The tide has indeed finally turned, and we look forward to sailing toward our future success, but most importantly........... we know our magnificent support is invincible to any storm.   Full steam ahead........
